Hi Everyone!  This is my 31st year of teaching and 26th year teaching preschool.  I am a graduate of East Carolina University with Undergraduate and Master's degrees in Special Education. Go Pirates! I love what I do. Special Needs Preschool children are my passion! I enjoy waking every morning knowing I get to spend time with the children in my classroom and knowing that I am helping make a difference in their lives. I love to form strong bonds with families. I am so honored to work with the best 2 ladies on my team, Donna and Heather.  Without them our team is not complete. We have been a team for several years now. I have 2 sons:  Joseph who is 19 and David who is 17 and a senior at Wake Forest High School. They definitely keep me busy! In my spare time I love to be outside. I love to hike, visit the mountains and sit on the beach. I also love to cook and bake. I am looking forward to the challenges this year will bring in the classroom and within the school system.
